AN INSULT RESENTED.
NEW YORK, Dec. 23-There was live
~ scene in an uptown restaurant last
evening, in which Maurice Barrymore,
the actor, figured prominently. He sat
st one Of the tables with lady and her
husband. The lady suddenly exclaimed:
'I can stand this no more. That cad has
insulted me-" Then she walked to table
where aibroker named Wise sal, looked him
in the face and swapping "You puppy" at
him, left the place. Her husband, after
parting word with Barrymore, followed.
For moment there was silence in the
cafe. The diners forgot sll about their
succulent and dyspeptic plates and turned
to stare at the unlucky cause Of this out
break. Wise sat
COMPLETELY DUMBFOUNDRD.
Barrymore rose, went to the brokers
table and, leaning over his shoulder, said
some words into his ear.
"What?" came from Wise in Mortified
tones. "Then you ie," and next he
aimed powerful blow at Barrymore's
head. Quicker than fash Barrymore
lodged his adversery's outstretched arm
and, rising on his toes, dealt him
soruding slug under the jaw. The force
of the blow was tremendous. Wise was
knocked clear across the table and,
striking against the wall, lay for an in
slant as if stunned. 10 his fall he took
with him the table cloth, followed by
the broken dishes and tumbling chairs.
| All this was mingled with the affrighted
screams OF the specta1 ors. From the ad-
| joining rooms came rushing walters,
! guests and cocks. The whole place was
TUMULTUoUs UPRoAR.
The enraged actor stood with clinched
fsts and flashing eyes waiting for his
fallen foe to arise and continue the COM
bat. At that moment Jsquine, proprietor
of the place in the costume of the chef
came running in from the kitchen. half
dozen people, men and women, ell
pointing to Wise, who pale and quivering
with excitement, stood leaning against
the wall. cried, sit serves him right. He

laid bis hands On him he cursed him
roundly. Again Jsquine ordered him to
leave, and when Wise demanded that he

To RENEW THE FIGHT
with Barrymore Jaquine seized him Blythe
arms, and tried to eject him from the
room. Wise struggled, and was finally
thrown fat upon the floor. Jaquine stood
over him, and Wise put his hand to his
hippocket, as if reaching for revolver.
TIC throng surrounding them scattered.
JGquine stopping down lifted the broker

walters threw him out Of the street door
RWhefe's that fsllow?" Wise shouted
when he reached the sidewalk. II was
an unfortunate question to ask Just at
that time because the answerIwas probably
| unexpected.
"That fellow is here, right here" said
Barrymore.
"I'm going to knock the life out of
him." Wise exclaimed and stepping for
ward
SEIZED THE ACTOR
by the coat-collsr. He raised his arm 10
strike, when Barrymore grssped his
wrist and then hit him once, twice, s
third time, straight in the face.
Wise loosened his hold on
Barrymore's coat and attempted to throw
both arms about his chest. This time
BARRYMORE struck to kill apparently. His
doughty fist landed full upon the brokers'
mouth and he went reeling across the
sidewalk into the gutter. There he lay
for quite minute, the blood flowing
freely from his nose and mouth and his
eyes closed as if in faint. Without
waiting for his antagonist to recover
Barrymore leaped on q passing car fol-
lowed by a lusty chorus Of the crowd.
Wise was picked up by some friends who
CHANGED along, and covered with blood
made his way back into the restaurant
where, apparently beside himself, he
called upon Jaequine to accompany him
to the station house and
SUBMIT TO ARREST.
Jaquine declined. Then Mr.. 'sfriend,
another down town broker, attempted to
prove that his companion was the victim
of an undeserved assault. Jaquine in
sisted that he had received no more than
his deserts, and when the brokers became
obstreperously argumentative he again
elected them into the street. From ell
accounts it would seem that Mr.. Barry
more had really good cause for his pug
nacious wrath. EYe-Witnesses to the
entire affair assert with unanimity that

tleman who saw the assault grasped the
actor's hand and thanked him for his Wig

Nr. Wise who was seen after the en-
counter stated "upon his honor" that the.
whole thing was mistake. III am GER
